Before the baby was born, my breasts leaked a little and it was a grayish-brown color. After the baby was born, the *true* colostrum was yellowish-white. I wouldn't worry about it...but, as always, if you're anxious about it, call your doctor!

Nope that sounds normal. It may even be more clear at first but overall its kinda creamish in color.
